"This corpse collector... is interesting."
Tian Sheng stood on the other side of the arena, watching Lu Mian's back with a cold, sinister gaze.
He had watched the entire fight, yet still hadn't managed to see through the corpse collector's true capabilities.
His opponent had defeated Zhai Yaoping with a single burst of Qi Mechanism. Aside from revealing his cultivation level, he had shown nothing of substance.
The other favorites were also silently observing Lu Mian.
They knew little about Lu Mian.
He was a complete dark horse. No one had even figured out his techniques or cultivation methods.
No matter how great a stir Lu Mian caused, the arena matches continued.
After a little over half an incense stick's time, the top sixteen had finally been decided.
Most of the sixteen were scions of Inner City clans. Only two people from the Guard Hall remained: Lu Mian and a stern-faced man with very long hair.
An azure dragon was embroidered on the man's chest, identifying him as a member of the Azure Dragon Guard.
There was no time to rest. After some brief arrangements, another round began.
This time, the sixteen contestants were assigned to eight arenas.
"Arena three, Lu Mian... Wei Wukong!"
The steward called out loudly.
"Lu Mian's been matched against Commander Wei."
"Now this will be a real clash of titans."
"Yes... Commander Wei has the special constitution Wind-Breath. He's incredibly fast and reached the first realm: qi accumulation half a year ago."
"I wonder whether the corpse collector can keep winning this time."
By now, no one dared look down on Lu Mian.
They all wanted to see whether this corpse collector could work another miracle.
Wei Wukong... deputy commander of the Azure Dragon Guard. Special constitution: Wind-Breath. His swift spear technique is astonishingly powerful.
